How do I receive CMSP benefits?
When the county determines that you are eligible, you will receive an approval notice, and shortly after, a Benefits Identification Card (BIC). This is a plastic card with you name, identification number, and a magnetic strip on it. Beginning October 1, 2005, CMSP members will also receive a CMSP/BC Life & Health identification (ID) card. In addition, beginning October 1, to receive CMSP benefits you will need to go to a CMSP/Blue Cross Life & Health network provider to receive all services, except emergency services. If you receive non-emergency services from a medical provider who is not a part of the CMSP/BC Life & Health provider network, you will be responsible for paying for those services. It is your responsibility to present your BIC and your CMSP/BC Life & Health ID cards to the provider when you get services.
When you go to the doctor, pharmacist, or other medical provider, they will verify your eligibility for CMSP, check if you have a Share-of-Cost and how much is remaining on the Share-of-Cost, and determine if there are other applicable restrictions or limitations.
